    “Mobile data collection makes our processes even more secure and faster. This benefits our customers.”

    Ralf Winkler
    Managing Director, hawo GmbH

    Highlights

    Mobile order picking with real-time recording

    Since the update to Proalpha 7.1, all product movements are recorded on mobile devices using scanners and entered directly into the ERP system. This enables seamless inventory management and replaces traditional inventory taking on specific dates.

    Automated route planning for same-day delivery

    Orders placed by 7:30 a.m. are delivered on the same day. Route planning is automatic and optimized based on postal codes and special requirements.

    Web portal for field staff and customers

    Field staff and customers can access the ERP system on the go, submit orders directly, and plan sales campaigns digitally. This increases transparency and efficiency throughout the entire sales process.

    What was the initial situation?

    hawo GmbH had to deliver to many branches and construction sites quickly and reliably every day. Some of the processes were paper-based and manual, which led to time losses and sources of error. A modern solution was needed to increase speed and transparency.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha was able to map the entire value chain, from purchasing to warehousing and order picking to route planning. The solution also offered mobile applications and an integrated web portal that directly connects field staff and customers. From the outset, the collaboration with Proalpha was based on partnership and continuous improvement.

    How can success be measured?

    Delivery speeds have been significantly increased, with orders placed by 7:30 a.m. being delivered on the same day. Mobile order picking saves time and increases process reliability. In addition, paper consumption has been greatly reduced and transparency for customers and employees has been improved.

    Proalpha Benefits

    Paperless working saves time and reduces errors

    Mobile data capture and digital processes eliminate the need for analog routing slips and manual entries, significantly increasing efficiency.

    High transparency in the supply chain

    All product movements can be tracked in real time, which increases security in order processing and improves traceability.

    Flexibility through standardization

    With the new version and the Industry Component Wholesale, hawo can work closely with the standard and minimize individual adjustments, which facilitates future updates.
